Why it Pays to Use a Buyer's Agent

These days, a click of the mouse can open a world of dream homes to you. Get paid to have a Buyer's Agent.

But when you're facing down a determined seller or trying to figure out what to offer, it literally pays to have a buyer's agent on your side.

Real estate is all about negotiation.

On one side there's the seller and his or her listing agent, who is bound by a legal agreement to represent the seller's interest.

On the other side is the buyer - you - who wants to walk out a winner, having paid a price you're comfortable with for a home you love.

To get there, you'll need comparables to establish a fair price; an educated perspective on the local real estate market; connections to home inspectors, lawyers and mortgage brokers; and someone who is bound by a legal agreement - a buyer's agreement - to represent your interests and yours alone.

That would be the buyer's agent. He or she puts you on level ground with the seller.

In tough negotiations with multiple offers, you need someone who will advise on strategy and is required by law to treat everything you share in confidence.

In "as is" situations or home inspections that turn up expensive surprises, you need a professional to advise you.

Even when things are going smoothly, another perspective is often important. An agent can also negotiate unemotionally and professionally on behalf of the buyer.

BUYERS GET A REBATE

When a property is listed for sale with a real estate agent
("Listing Agent"), the Listing Agent historically offers a
3.0%
commission to the real estate agent ("Buyer's Agent") who
procures
the buyer.

In this case, FOXmls.com acts as a Buyer's Agent to assist the buyer in the
purchase of a home. As a Buyer's Agent, FOXmls.com will receive a commission
from the Listing Agent. FOXmls.com will share ("Refund") any commission received over 1.5%
with our client, the buyer. Our Refund is subject to lender approval,
and there may be restrictions with VA or FHA loans. Your Refund cannot be
used as part of your down payment or to meet the capital reserve
requirements of your loan program.

The
Buyer will receive representation during the purchase
transaction and FOXmls.com, as the Buyer's Agent, will work hard to get the
Buyer the home wanted at the best price and terms
possible.
